Since the system has also hit the smartwatche, it has become even more useful, as it does not even require a phone call. Unfortunately, contactless payments are limited primarily to iOS or Android Wear devices, and are not available to Pebble’s popular smartwatches because they do not have a touch screen, but an E-ink display.
